A forward declaration for an inline function seems rather pointless. Moreover, marking default_idle both l1_text and inline seems contradicting, right?

there is ... in the Kconfig, you select the CPU and the silicon version ... we then have a header file that determines which anomalies need to be worked around since the anomaly/silicon binding is static -mike

PATCH 1/1 Blackfin: architecture update patch

In reply to Paul Mundt

Hi folks:

This is the latest blackfin update patch. Because there are lots of issue fixing in this one, I put all modification in one update patch which is located in:
https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/39/2707/blackfin-arch-2.6.21-rc4-mm1-update.patch

Changlogs:

1) fixed most of issues according to Arnd and Paul's review.
2) Remove RCS tags
3) Remove unsupported BF535 machine.
4) applied and tested based on blackfin-arch-balance-parenthesis-in-macros.patch

This is the latest blackfin update patch. Because there are lots of issue fixing in this one, I put all modification in one update patch which is located in:
https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/39/2707/blackfin-arch-2.6.21-rc4-mm1-update.patch

I hope these will split up logically in the future so it's possible to reply to them without having to do manual mangling..

The patch generally looks fine, this is the only thing that really jumped out:

asm-generic/pgtable.h already does this if you don't explicitly define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_{CPU,MMU}_MODE. So please kill this entirely. If you forgot to include asm-generic/pgtable.h, that's another matter..

From now on, I will follow this rule. Thanks

OK, I will check with this. Adding this dummy function is because compiling will fail.

This is the latest blackfin update patch.

I think I'm going to give up on the present set of blackfin patches. I don't know whether what I have is up-to-date and various versions of various random patches keep on flying past.

So I think it's best if I drop everything and, when people have finished reviewing everything, you resend it all.

Sorry for this mess up. You know, this is a big patch. After Arnd and Paul's review, it took lots of time to fix their request. But I think this update patch is the patch to satisfy Arnd and Paul's review and they almost think this one is fine to add to -mm.

If this one is merged into -mm, I will follow the rule to send small and fixed patches. But you know incremental patch should have a base. I hope you can add this to -mm. And if Arnd, Paul or other kernel maintainers find some issues, we fix them and send small patches one by one.

Thanks Andrew.

1) Some issues are fixed according to LKML patch review.
2) Remove not supported BF535 code
3) Fixed some bugs from blackfin.uclinux.org SVN update Here is the updated patch for 2.6.21-rc4-mm1

One rather general but important comment:

You need to get used to providing smaller, one fix per mail, patches. As long as the full tree is waiting in -mm, this is not as important, as I assume that Andrew will fold the whole architecture support into a big patch before submitting to Linus, but as soon as it's in, such big patches will not be acceptable any more.

If you're not already doing it, look into how 'quilt' or similar tools help you with this.
